At the heart of Leamington Spa are the Royal Pump Rooms - a grade II listed building that dates from 1816.

Built to take advantage of the popularity of spa baths in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Royal Pump Rooms are a reminder of a time when people flocked to Leamington from across Europe to take the waters.
